Chairman of the Chemistry Departures Richard H. Holm said yesterday." All things being equal, it's about time the FAS and someone from the sciences, but the present dean has had a very good chemistry with the sciences...
Shattuck had moved the booters into a riskier man-to-man defense 30 minutes into the second half. In the final three minutes, the Bruins exploited the unsupported Harvard back line, with forwards Eric Holm-Olsen and Fred Reinhardt each tallying to ice the match...
